Well - that is a point, I don't like at all! So if someone watches TV with the FF card, the TV gets dark as soon as I start the xineliboutput frontend. I don't know anything from the vdr internals - I'm just a user. >From my (user-)point of view the vdr may not break, if a client does an error. Currently when I forget to switch to a SD channel on the xineliboutput frontend before stopping that frontend, the vdr is not operable for the FF- user. There's no way to recover. I have to start the xineliboutput frontend, change the channel and then stop that frontend again. > VDR itself has not much to do with this switching, Best would be, to be able to switch this kind of switching off completely. > and doesn't know in advance how many of its devices suddenly may or may not > be the output device.

Well, after all it was just a wish :) I think, the task to create a new OSD system is neither simple nor small - so lots of issues have to been taken into account. I like to think about upcoming issues in advance and I'm sorry, but I don't like that pessimists, that only know to talk about things, that are impossible, that should never get touched, .... > Its probably a lot easier to solve this at the output side within > xineliboutput. So you change a possible issue into a 'NMP'-issue - not very smart. (NMP stands for "not my problem") kind regards Gero _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
